Kitty Bear
Kitty Bear is a 4-year-old who has won three races from 32 starts and works best over middle distances, particularly around seven furlongs to a mile where it has managed two wins from 13 races. The horse races for trainer A. Slattery's yard at Thurles in County Tipperary, one of the country's successful operations this season with 62 winners sent out. Despite a recent lean run — no wins in the last six races, with results of 17th, 5th, 4th, 11th and 8th — Kitty Bear remains active and raced just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse's record is modest but shows real spark when conditions align. Its win rate sits around one win in every eleven races overall, but that figure improves noticeably with jockey Orla Tynan in the saddle, who has ridden Kitty Bear to victory three times from twelve races together — a 25% rate that stands out sharply against the baseline. The partnership clearly clicks, and Tynan's presence is worth noting in future entries. Kitty Bear's last victory came at Roscommon on 11 May 2026, now five months in the past. The first career win arrived at Dundalk on 23 January 2026, so there is proven ability to find the winner's enclosure, even if recent form has dried up. With the yard in good form and Tynan available, the horse remains one to watch at the right distance and in the right company.
